The Niagara Region is full of unique wineries, but a select few stand out in their own ways. The three wineries on this tour were selected due to their unique attributes. These three wineries chosen produce small-batch wines based on taste, not on filling quotas for the LCBO. There is also one common theme across the board, the theme of art. Each of the wineries has its own focus on art. This tour takes you on a journey through the art world.
